Again, the problem is that the trackways made in dry or damp sand look
nothing like the fossil trackways. Only tracks made underwater look
anything like the fossil tracks. That is still the bottom line.

100 meters is from lots of sources, but Weaver is the one I was quoting.
Mason and Berry (Elements of Mineralogy) simply state "ocean floor far from
sources of sediment" That is where it is found today, and the reasons why
it is not found in shallow water are genetic, it is a mineral formed under
reducing conditions, and shallow water is generally oxygenated.

Yeah, a few, some in the ocean.... OK. I should have said glauconite is
known to form today only FAR below storm wave base. Is that better?
